"I am a Bowen family systems therapist working with clients from the standpoint of your internal and external connections (partner, family, coworkers, and community). Because no one functions entirely alone, problematic interactions with others can produce distressing symptoms that can often be alleviated by addressing the roles, rules, and goals we may be defining differently. Communication brings understanding. Faith in ourselves, in safe others, and in a benevolent Source that gives meaning to our experience are vital resources for the growing seasons of life that come to all. Phone me to discuss your situation; I'd like to be of help."

"There is more to life than just coping! I work with adults and couples who want to feel more vibrancy and optimism in their life, but are just feeling kind of stuck and frustrated.
